Well the ride home wasn't so bad. It was in the upper 20sF. I had an annoying 15-20MPH headwind and just didn't feel like abusing myself. I swore I'd relax and use whatever gear was easiest. Most of the time I was pedaling along around 14 to 15MPH. If the wind got bad, maybe I dropped to 12 or 13. My eyes were tearing up a lot, with the wind. Unusual.

The MUP was largely empty. One cyclist was heading the other way and we each returned a hello.
